07 download
I have a 07 Dyna and it's completly stock and I would like to keep it that way. But I understand they come very lean for epa reasons. I was thinking about doing a hd download to richin it up and make it run the way it's supposed to run in the first place. does anyone know out there if you can just do the download on the stock set up with out any complications. the dealer just said they would do it but could not give me any feed back, the bike runs good now but I'm sure it's running on the lean side.

You state the bike runs good now so if the heat is not a comfort issue for you I would leave it as is since youplan no mods. Back in the early 90's when the auto makers bump the operating temps on cars and truck to run 210 or better everyone though they were going to fail due to excessive heat. Turns out the hotter temp provide better combustion which means cleaner engines and LONGER engine life.The HD Engineers have spent more time testing this engine than ALL of us combined.
My 2 cents. Riching it up for the sole purpose of making it run cooler has some risk. This motor was designed to work at these temperature, granted once you start modifying it you have no choice but to add fuel. Howeverrunning it too richmay also have unforeseen problems down the road like carbon biuld up, washed cylinders ect.
If it ain't broke don't fixit.
